american whore story (Crown of Midnight Chapters 9-16)
We pick up in Crown of Midnight chapter nine with Celaena visiting Kaltain (the Suriel??) in the dungeons.
Intro: 00:00 Book Rec: 00:00:26 Deep Dive: 00:03:31
Archer can either hang up his g-string for good or be strangled by it, and, after choosing the second option, he promises to pass along intel about the rebel group working to put Aelin Galathynius (!!) on the throne. After finding a book full of wyrdmarks (and a riddle) at the home of one of those rebels, Celaena is cut with a poisonous dagger and runs to the one person she knows will keep her safe: Chaol. Plus, we talk potential Maasverse connections, like the tapestry Celaena finds in the library and the Void from the ACOTAR Christmas special. This week's book rec is A Sea of Song and Sirens: The Naiads of Juile by Whit Stanfield.

Celaena fakes the deaths of the people on her to-murder list and receives a new assignment from the king that leads her to Archer, a (traitorous?) courtesan from her past. Chaol may not be "excessively handsome," but he and Celaena are spending an excessive amount of time together ... just ask Dorian. Plus, we talk potential connections to Mor and Truth-Teller, discuss the recent Fourth Wing bonus chapter news and Cait reviews "It Ends With Us." This week's book rec is Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, #1) by Callie Hart. Next week: Crown of Midnight chapters 9-16.

We're talking Rhaenyra the Cruel. More like Rhaenyra the COOL, am I right? The Blacks need a new publicist and the Greens a therapist in the aftermath of Blood and Cheese. Helaena mourns her baby, while Aegon mourns his legacy and meteorically destroys his past (RIP Viserys' Old Valyria Sims). We talk parallels: first between Otto, Alicent and Aegon and Tywin, Cersei and Joffrey, then Rhaenyra and Visenya, and lastly, the introduction of several new characters' threads (Hugh, Alyn, Addam, BLOODY BEN) into the tapestry. New episodes every Sunday!

We're talking Bride by Ali Hazelwood in the debut episode of The Spicy Girls Book Club! The tropes are troping in Ali's first paranormal romance ... and we are HERE for it. You: Vampires and Werewolves Me, an intellect: Vampyre and Weres Slow-burn romance, arranged marriage, banter, found family, political scheming, fated mates, knotting (which isn't tying your dick in a knot, not that we thought that) and you're never going to guess how many beds there are ... Is it, especially the cover, a little Wattpad-ish? Sure. But we fucking loved Wattpad and Twilight and WE DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT. Next week: A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L. Jensen.

We share our final thoughts on HOFAS, talk future Crescent City and ACOTAR books and debate Elriel vs. Gwynriel vs. Elucien vs. Why Choose? Both Nesta and Az are poised to play major parts in ACOTAR 5, but in which direction(s) will their stories go? And will we finally get main character energy from Elain? We talk Illyrian lore, Az's lineage and possible connections to Starborn fae and Enalius, the potential for more monsters hidden under the mountains of Prythian, Rhys' beast form and dragons, what really went down between Eris and Mor and, speaking of, could it have been a prince of Hel watching Mor in Frost and Starlight? And who will Nesta throw into a black hole first: Koschei or Rhys? Next week: Spicy Girls Book Club: Bride by Ali Hazelwood.

Not only do they need to figure out a new energy source, but also an entirely new government after Bryce dismantles the monarchy 1776-style. Plus, Lidia and Ruhn adjust to a normal(ish) life, Tharion looks for his wife and Ithan thinks about ... sunball. Next week, we’ll share our final thoughts on Flame and Shadow and talk future Crescent City and ACOTAR books.

Our House of Flame and Shadow deep dive continues with chapters 84-88. Bryce and Hunt tell the world the truth about the Asteri, creating a distraction while they infiltrate the Crystal Palace with Ruhn and Lidia, and Ithan and Tharion handle their antidote delivery as carefully as an UberEats driver who didn't receive a tip. Oh, and Bryce and Hunt swap more than just fluids. Again. Most importantly, we investigate if Hunt's dick not fitting in the ship's underwear means the wingspan rumor is true OR if mer simply don't need the space. We also talk Bridgerton fingerbanging, The Legends of Thezmarr series and CC3 potential plot lines, like the Sathia-Tharion-Colin love triangle and Ithan and Perry. Next week: chapters 89-93.

Plus, we debate whether Rhys could've winnowed Nyx out and talk Maasverse swords. Next week: chapters 73-77.

After a breakdown of E News' dream ACOTAR casting and a discussion of this week's book rec, The Vampire's Mage Series by C.N. Crawford, we continue our House of Flame and Shadow deep dive with chapters 61-66. We learn that (unfortunately) Apollion and Thanatos *didn't* run a train on Hunt's mom. He actually had a bio dad, who was killed by the Asteri for his connection to Hel. Speaking of dead dads, we officially say goodbye to the Autumn King's redemption arc, and Bryce girl bosses her way from assistant to Queen of the Valbaran and Avallen fae. Plus, we talk Rhys' beast mode possibly being a dragon and the potential effects Bryce awakening Avallen could have on Prythian.

Elsewhere on the island, Ruhn and Lidia are days behind the plot and just now realizing Dec and Flynn are missing and Ithan and Hypaxia postpone their trip to Avallen when the Asteri fire brimstone missiles into Asphodel Meadows.

Before diving (deep) into House of Flame and Shadow chapters 50-55, we *have* to talk about Sarah's latest IG post (#ACOwhattt), our viral April Fools' joke, A Court of Fiddles and Pollen, and this week's book rec, "Manacled" by SenLinYu.
Hunt and Bryce exchange more than just fluids, Tharion and Sathia find only one bed (!!!) in their honeymoon suite, Ithan and Hypaxia's trip to Avallen in search of Sofie's body is delayed when the Asteri blow up Asphodel Meadows, Ruhn's cock tightens, Lidia flinches and Dec and Flynn, who *love* waffles, miss multiple breakfasts, but I'm sure they're fine.

We kick off the episode guessing what SJM and Margot Robbie were talking about at their recent coffee date. Could Margot be involved in a future SJM adaption as a producer and/or actress (and who would we cast her as?), or was it just a meet cute for two Fantasy fangirlies?
We finally learn Silene's fate after returning to Prythian (and how the trickle-down effect impacted Feyre way back in ACOTAR) + Bryce puts everyone at risk doing her best Aelin impression. Lidia continues to carry the plot in Midgard, risking everything for a male who would rather have his hand chewed off than simply *talk* to her.
Plus, we talk potential connections to Maeve, Valg in Prythian and Midgard, Mor's mystery shadows and very confusing family trees.

Plus, what the Hel do Illyrians and angels do with their hands while they fly and WHY did Sarah have to make Pollux so damn sexy??

In our coverage of House of Flame and Shadow chapters 11-15, we break down the progression of the tunnel carvings and what they mean for the past, present and future of both Prythian and Midgard.
Could the monolith atop Ramiel be wyrdstone? And what (or whom) sleeps beneath the mountains of Prythian?
We also discuss both the canon and theorized connections between Ramiel, the Illyrians, Thurr, Enalius and Pelias; whether or not Bryce and Rhys are related (and what that means in the line of succession); and how the CC villains compare to TOG and ACOTAR.
Next week: chapters 16-20.

We’re dropped back in the Crystal Palace two days after Bryce jumped through the gate, trying to get to Hel to ask for Apollion and Aidas’ help, but instead landing in Prythian. While Bryce petitions Rhys, Amren and Az for her Prythian Green Card, Hunt, Ruhn and Baxian are at the mercy of the Hind and Pollux in the Asteri dungeons; Tharion trades his underwater cage for a cage match; and Ithan tries to hold his pack together.
Next week: chapters 5-10.

In our House of Sky and Breath finale, we cover chapters 71-78, the epilogue and the bonus chapters.
We pick back up in chapter 71 with Bryce's underwhelming-turned-overwhelming discovery in the Asteri Archives, while the rest of Team Fuck-You are busy being caught (suspiciously easily?). It might be time to slide into Apollion's DMs, now that Bryce has learned the truth, and apologize to Al Gore, because that truth is inconvenient.
We discuss the possibility of the angel prototypes being the Illyrians, a Wyrdstone atop Ramiel, Theia being Mala (or Maeve), Ruhn's reaction to Agent Day taking off her Superman glasses, how thoroughly the Cadre was played by Rigelus, our fear over what "Then Hunt knew nothing at all" means, and whether or not Bryce actually *did* land in Hel.

In the penultimate episode of our HOSAB deep dive, we break down Bryce's opposite of a wet dream with Apollion. Could Parthos — now a vast, dusty plain — be the same place the Bone Carver told Feyre about? We also compare the BC to the Sin-Eater and Lunathion — modeled after an ancient coastal city — to Antica.
Topics include the possibility of Jesiba being Theia's daughter, Tharion's blood oath (and the Viper Queen being Valg), and the latest Danika bombshell. Plus, Sarah finally answers whether or not Hunt has a foot fetish.
Next week: chapters 71-78 + epilogue/bonus chapters.

We pick back up in chapter 51 with Hunt processing the Emile bombshell and the Autumn King processing Bryce's official princess paperwork. Concerned about her coven, Hypaxia hires Ithan as a bodyguard and, let's just say, we hope his health insurance took effect immediately.
Plus we discuss why Mor is who Rhys will call in when "the armies fail and Cassian and Azriel are both dead" (and her possible connection to Midgard and the Tuatha Dé Danann), and the horn, the harp, and the 26-string theory.
Next week: chapters 61-70.

On this episode of Love Island, the rebels turn on their Vanir allies, Hunt lights it up and the Hind skims waves (and minds?).
Plus, Bryce waxes on with Cormac and gets off with Hunt, who comes down with a case of "mate rage" after being saved by one of the Ocean Queen's secret underwater cities (news to both us and captain of intelligence Tharion). Danika was an Aware Wolf, researching shifter ancestry, and the prime fills Bryce in on the "unspeakable things" wolves did during the First Wars. Bryce does her best Aelin impression with a secret off-camera mission, and Ember welcomes 156-week newborn, Cooper Silago.
Next week: chapters 51-60.

Bryce and Hunt escape the Bone Quarter after combining powers ... and scents. Ephraim and his triarii, including the Harpy and the Hind, arrive in Lunathion for the (forced) mating with Celestina, who Hunt straight up abandons. Bryce, Tharion and Ithan visit the creeper Astronomer and his mystics and, bonus, meet Thanatos ... a lord from the Hewn City moonlighting as a prince of Hel?
Plus, we discuss Lidia's possible connections to Aelin and/or Luna and the Astronomer's to Koschei and who would win in TOG cadre vs. CC cadre.
